This one-day session from ASA provides guidance on over 40 critical elements of shotcrete applications to properly evaluate the overall quality of shotcrete – valuable information for onsite inspectors, General Contractors, shotcrete contractors and others who hire shotcrete sub-contractors. Topics covered include material selections, equipment, placement techniques, finishing, curing, protection, testing and safety as it relates to the shotcrete process.
Examinees may purchase direct from ACI (www.concrete.org/store): ACI CP-61Pack – Shotcrete Inspector Reference Package.
